  3. Like I posted earlier mate, I have the belts good to go. £26.20 for both belts.
  4. The belts are different sizes and the one on the right is the aircon and is about 12 mm diameter. The air con belt has turned on the pulleys so you will have to find the cause. I have new belts and preowned pulleys good to go next day of you need them. Alex.
  5. Gary, the GT4 belongs to John ( hyeung) God knows who the other two were but they were driving like a couple of hoologans
  6. Yes mate probably PAS related. Top up the fluid and adjust both belts. Access from underneath with engine tray off. You have pm.

    WHEEL SPACERS

    You will find that most quality spacers are manufactured from High Strength Aircraft-Aluminium Alloy with extreme corrosion protection through DIN 50021 approved coating process.
  8. Hi and welcome to the forum mate. Your first issue is normal, just be gentle with it and it will retract easily. Your second point could be numerous things but the 5th bow on mine would not close every time for the last two weeks and after only several switch operations would it close and this week end it gave up the ghost completely and would not close at all. I only had a chance to check it out today and it was only a sticking micro switch and after a spray of wd40 all is good again. The micro switches are positioned at the thin wire cable ends located under the black leatherette in the roof storage area. If you cant find them give me a shout back and I will get some photos over to you over the weekend. Alex.
  9. Yes mate you will require help to get the box in and out as like you say it is very heavy. Best on a ramp using a gearbox jack but up on axle stands is doable. I can talk you through the procedure nearer the time, but it is very straight forward. Not knowing how the cars been driven makes it hard to diagnose the premature failure but yes, change the master at the same time because this smacks of return valve failure. Cheers, Alex.
  10. Your picture only shows one spacer and 5 studs. Remember that you have got to fit them in pairs and by that I meen on the same axle.
  11. Hi and welcome to the forum. If it is biting as high as you say then I am sure that you could induce clutch slip, Depending on how the car is driven, will determine how long a clutch lasts If you discover that your clutch is indeed on its last legs then I can help. Check out the link below and feel free to pm me with any questions. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=27436 Cheers, Alex.
  12. +1 Exactly my sentiments indeed. Requires to be open so that it works but also requires protection.
  13. There is a picture of what you require in this thread from Charles viewtopic.php?f=115&t=29019
  14. N-Dubz was a 5 second momentary lapse. I'm back on Jack Johnson and Coldplay. On a topical note; I've just bought some 12mm P1.25 nuts from fleabay. I sure hope that you have bought the correct ones brov They have got to be extremely shallow.
  15. 12mm P1.25 Next Question 12mm seems small? I'll take your word for it, brother. 12mm is the size of the stud. The diameter of the oem lug nut is 21mm but that is irrelevant.

  17. You obviously do not have any understanding of this subject and I would advise you to leave your bonnet closed and go back to the dealers.
  18. New to me Grant but as Stew has to do all the housework at home then I guess that he does know a thing or two about hoovers. Linky working fine.
  19. I would advise you against authorizing Nissan to remove the gearbox as you are basically giving them an open cheque book. The £200.00 quoted will only be for pulling the box and a possibly a partial gearbox strip. If they do not find a failure that is covered by the warranty you will have 3 options. (1) Fight them on it (2) Tell them to rebuild it and put the car back to its original condition. (3) Pay them to fix it. If you chose option (2) then the rebuild and refitting the gearbox will be chargable over and above the originall £200.00 so be carefull as the additional charge will not just be another £200.00. Fact: Your car is under manufacturer's warranty. Being more assertive with either the Dealer or Nissan Customer Services should get you a result. I am very friendly with the warranty clerk in my local Nissan dealership and he tells me that Nissan are really pulling in the reins on paying out on potential warranty claims and are bullying the customers in the same way that they appear to be treating you. I thought there stance a few years ago on warranty claims was out of order but it appears to have got much tougher now bordering on scandelous. A switched on confident and experienced 350 Z technician should be capable of diagnosing your issues with out removing and stripping the transmission. It is hardly rocket science. Also remember that Nissan do not usually carry out the gearbox strips in house. The normal procedure is that they will remove the transmission and send to a transmission specialist for strip and rebuild. I different Nissan dealer in your area may be a bit more understanding and sympathetic. Good luck. Alex.
